Daredevil #279

In "Before the Flame," Daredevil and his allies stumble upon Black Bolt’s son hiding in a remote town where the locals fear him as a threat, unaware of the danger he poses even to himself. When a sudden earthquake splits the ground open, the group is plunged into darkness—into a chasm that may hold more secrets than they ever expected. Written by Ann Nocenti and brought to life by John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson, this issue blends tense atmosphere with emotional weight, all wrapped in Max Scheele’s evocative colors and Joe Rosen’s sharp lettering. The cover, penciled by Romita Jr. and inked by Williamson, captures the moment of descent with haunting precision.
